arXiv:2602. 04101v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We present Interfaze, a native hybrid model that fuses task-specific deep neural networks (CNNs and DNNs) directly into a transformer decoder through a shared embedding space.

AdaDINO: Context-Adaptive DINO-Distilled Vision Foundation Models for Efficient Open-Vocabulary Edge Inference

arXiv:2604. 15622v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Always-on contextual AI runs language-aligned vision foundation models (VFMs) on edge devices, where the on-device model is the dominant continuous compute cost under strict latency and power limits.

Task-Aware Spectral Pruning: A Mixture-of-Masks Framework for Efficient LLM Inference

Task-Aware Spectral Pruning (TASP) is a post‑training framework that tailors sparse masks to specific tasks by calibrating module‑level spectral descriptors against task‑specific ablation effects. It constructs masks that close grouped‑query‑attention and SwiGLU dependencies, routing each user turn to a single compiled mask that remains fixed during prefill and decoding. In experiments, TASP achieves a 43% active‑FLOP reduction while preserving 97.7% of the dense BF16 performance on Llama‑3‑70B, and delivers a 1.44× speedup on an A100 80GB with INT8‑weight/BF16‑compute, reducing decode latency from 45.2 to 31.3 ms/token.

An Explicit World Model Based on Data-First Ontology: DaoQL Multimodal Storage Validation and Counterfactual Reasoning Evaluation

arXiv:2607. 17269v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models encode world models implicitly in neural weights, which exposes four structural risks in high-precision domains such as medicine and finance: hallucination, frozen knowledge, poor explainability, and poor modifiability.
